What it says on the tin really - book about a woman who thinks she’s been possessed by a demon. Just wish it was longer - it felt like we got the gist of the plot, but missed out on details so it felt rushed. Its short length is great for a quick unsettling read but does a disservice to the directions this story could’ve taken.

Really enjoyed this book! Quick and fun read to set the mood for halloween, although sometimes felt it was a little too quick and dramatic. Still, had a good time reading it :)

Felt proper bad for Amanda come the end bless x
